Thanks, carolb. Actually, wunderground uses amateur volunteers who set up little stations in their backyards, so it used to be a lot closer to the real microclimate here.

BTW, we should all enjoy NOAA while it lasts. You do know the new head is the guy from accuweather who tried to sue NOAA for giving away info that people should pay for?

writerblock,

Thanks for the info on Accuweather. I had no idea they were bought out, I did notice the change in the website info. I have a neighbor a few doors down with his weather station info posted there. Aside from the wind speed it pretty accurate, his weather station is close to a wood stockade fence.

Yeah, the closest one to me has his station on the west wall of his place, so the temps are always much higher after noon than they are here.

Likewise, the closest station to me is most always off on the temperature. Wunderground has been putting Saturday morning as the lowest. Now it is this morning as the lowest and Friday and Saturday mornings higher.

National Weather Service isn't perfect but it has been the most accurate of the numerous weather sites I check regularly.

Yeah. NWS/NOAA. No ads or fancy widgets to crash your browser. My yard always seems to get a bit colder than what they forecast so I plan on what they forecast a bit north and a bit more inland. If this goes away I will be very sorry.
